Canuck Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 On my calendar! Meeting people at the Marriot and driving out together is a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonut Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The Marriot is a two minute hop away for us so we will probably meet up there. Snow pending of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonut Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 anyone heading to the breakfast that wants to avoid the granite and swamps of the C101D and trail 12 and the boredom of just running up the big lake can join us at the Wharf boat ramp / parking lot at 9:30 am Saturday. I will be leading a group of folks up some lake / back lakes / little trails / lakes to the community center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakesnowcrest Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Whats Wrong With trail 12? Its all good now. We had a groomer/swamp issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonut Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Whats Wrong With trail 12? other than a severe lack of groomable snow or the over abundance of granite, nothing at all. It is however still CLOSED( edit "limited" ) right now because one of the tractor groomers broke through a few swamps again enroute to rescue the the new piston bully groomer which lost a track trying to do the 12. That tends to leave the swamps a nasty, jagged frozen mess and with no real new snow, no way to groom them out. I see Blake just posted it as limited. I would say thats almost a stretch. At least from what I saw of it yesterday. Thanks but I won't be heading to the pancake breakfast via the c101d / 12 unless we get a major dumping of packable snow this week. My route leaves more carbide and studs on your sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'd love to join you guys this saturday but the trails that lead to the event look bleec.... the C101D is very rough, the road run from the wharf is BARE, the 15 will be a tough ride for anyone coming up from severn. In town of gravenhurst the roads are bare and lots of it. With out snow these trails are hurting, just my opinion...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said they were awesome and was not expecting the good quality of the trails. Some people are running Lake Muskoka to the breakfast too... Also, Trails 15 and 4 have been groomed.

Canuck Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hop in your vehicle then and drive out to Walkers Point. I was going to ride the lakes down from Parry Sound, but given the conditions (and one unfamiliar lake section), will drive to the event and sled later in the day. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, a group of us headed up and did the Lake Muskoka loop. Thanks to Doonut for some of the shortcuts. You shure know the area well. We started with 20 of us and finished with 9 of us. I dont know where the others went. Dident take alot of pictures today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakesnowcrest Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 how where the trails Blake? Trails were fantastic for the most part, it was a full bag of sled conditions, dirt, rocks, powder, and groomed perfection. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
